For over two decades, landscape architect Hua Xuehan has been on a mission to breathe new life into China’s classical gardens—spaces where philosophy meets artistry. With 70+ gardens revitalized, Hua masterfully weaves ancient concepts like ‘originating from nature, yet transcending it’ into today’s bustling cities. 🌳✨
Think misty rock formations mirroring skyscrapers, or tranquil ponds nestled between metro stations. These gardens aren’t just relics—they’re living classrooms showing how urban spaces can balance progress with serenity. For young travelers and design enthusiasts, Hua’s work proves tradition isn’t just preserved… it evolves. 🎋
Next time you’re in a Chinese city, look closer: that pocket park with winding paths? That’s 2,000 years of storytelling in concrete and greenery. 📜💡
